China's President Xi Jinping looks at US President Donald Trump during a welcome ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on May 14.
Financial markets across the globe got some bloody noses after a 'cold' meeting between the United States (US) President Donald Trump and the Chinese leader President Xi Jinping.
Trump went to China with big expectations, mostly that he himself created, from which a lot did not materialise.
Trump claimed he struck 'fantastic trade deals' - asserting that China agreed to buy 200 Boeing jets (not 500 as Trump had claimed), US oil, and agricultural products, but Chinese ministries sidestepped confirming specific contracts.
Boeing’s share price dropped by more than 4% on Friday.
